7 minutes of fantastic Lonnie. It's one the finest jazz funk records ever recorded imo. His piano playing is just...!!The detail that is in this track. The horns,the flute, the rythm section from the congas to the drumming. Some superb bass playing on this record also. No idea who it is. Music like this makes me love this genre and i will never forget the talent that went into making just this track, nevermind the great album it comes from.This is proper JazzFunk imo http://youtu.be/xekwGIg9Du8

Seen Yellow Jackets live with the great Jim Haslip. http://youtu.be/QdbCf76wlKU

This is great. Bass guitar played by Randy HOPE Taylor of early Incognito albums. In fact this cracker of an album is by Bluey from Incognito. Other side projects he did are Citrus Sun, which is also great. http://youtu.be/XFt3YgS7kbI

They have modernised Jazz Funk so well. It's pure class. http://youtu.be/ZZbAauYiNoc

Another classic jazz funk record from MFSB. http://youtu.be/NZWvwAyKUgo

I first heard this album called Focused many years ago. This for me is jazz funk. Billy Cobham at his best imo. The album version is much better. http://youtu.be/D4B6Q0fApaM

Very cool Lowdown. Love that record. Not many times do people come out with that rare cracker. That to me is pure JazzFunk.

I think the clue is in the name. It's uses jazz chords( not always of course ) but uses the funk structure of a record.

That is awsome. Good man.!!

There has been alot of excitment about his basses. One of which I own and it is just superb. But his playing is also very cool. Reminds me of Bobby Vega. I'm wondering if he plays guitar also. ? Anyways lovely playing. http://youtu.be/yTJcVIyhvtM

I played the Elwood 5 Jazz last night. I may withdraw it from the BC for sale/trade section. It really is fantastic

[quote name='SICbass' timestamp='1479382355' post='3176053'] Plantation Lullabies is also an excellent album [/quote] it's what Introduced me. The music is great. http://youtu.be/rNwrNp458tE

I can't remember the last time I saw a MM jazz for sale on BC. I would be rather partial to a trade on one. Maybe I've missed them. Are they still making the mexico model.?

The Lakland 5502 does a great job of putting together a jazz bass and a music man. But it doesn't quite get there. Doesnt truely sound like the full fat MM tone. And in the Jazz bass switching you dont really get that Jazz bass tone. not sure why and I do wonder why. Surely it's simple. Put 2 single coil pickups on a bass 70,s potition and then add another single coil inside to the bridge single coil. There we go a perfect MM sound switching to both rear, then switch to the outside coils. Voila.!! I'm sure im missing something as I'm not a pickups expert. Why doesn't it work like that. Is it because of the nature or the humbucker of the music man that you can't split it in that way.? If not why not have a MM alnico then a rear jazz pickup then a jazz neck pickup.? Ok why not just have one big big pickup from the bridge to the neck.? Yes I'm getting carried away now

Both amazing sounding. But the Jazz is more versatile. Doesn't make it better though.
